Vacchi

Vacchi (pronounced VAH-kee) is an Italian surname. It is most commonly found in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, particularly in the provinces of Bologna and Modena.

The origin of the name is debated, but it is generally believed to be derived from a nickname related to the word "vacca," meaning "cow" in Italian. This could have referred to someone who worked with cows, or perhaps someone who was considered stubborn or docile, depending on the regional connotations of the nickname. Alternatively, it may have originated from a place name containing "vacca."

Due to emigration patterns, individuals with the surname Vacchi can now be found in various countries outside of Italy, including the United States, Argentina, and Brazil.
